Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes 'are staying civil' for the sake of Suri

TOM Cruise and Katie Holmes are managing to keep their divorce civil for the sake of their daughter Suri.

The couple "are still talking" and have worked out a "civilised routine" to share parenting duties, a source told People magazine.

"They are both going to do what’s best for Suri," the source said.

For Cruise, that means whisking Suri away on a trip to Disney World, where the fashion-conscious six-year-old paraded around in a The Little Mermaid costume while enjoying some quality time with her dad, who has been filming in Europe.

Meanwhile, Holmes has enrolled Suri in a posh international school in Manhattan, she will start class next month.

Cruise and Holmes had previously home-schooled their daughter because of the family’s constant travel with work, but Holmes wanted to give the six-year-old some "stability and consistency in her life" after her parents’ split, another pal told the magazine, and Cruise happily agreed.

Holmes and her mini-me daughter have been spotted frequently around New York City since the shock split, moving into their new apartment, shopping and visiting the zoo.
